Pattern Description:

A new shape for a crossbody. The Kododa Canteen bag is inspired by military field bags of the past and reminiscent of the circle bag your mom liked to carry in the 60's. Kokoda is a little bit vintage, a little bit trendy and a big dose of unexpected. 

Kokoda features a spacious zippered top that opens much wider than expected for its slim shape. The front offers a slip/zip pocket combo that is ideal to keep the essentials handy and more interior room than expected for the girl on the go! 

A cross body strap offers several ways to carry from over the shoulder to cross body so you can be hands free. 

The Kokoda Canteen measures: 

• 9 1/2 " wide, 9 1/2 " tall and 3 1/2 " deep.

This versatile cross body can be adapted from sporty to chic, day or night, or from vintage to totally modern.
